Gold Medal Winner Amaan

Amaan Ghulam has been enjoying his apprenticeship in Business Support for the past 4 months and many of you have probably already met him as he often works on reception at the Wellman Building. 

Amaan's biggest passion is boxing, which he started doing at the age of 8. Amaan is now 21 years old, and whilst he started boxing for fun, he soon realised how good he was at the sport, which spurred him on to do more. 

He started entering Championships and winning competitions. He soon became number 1 in the country which gave him the chance to get into the England squad. He began training with the England Team in Sheffield and started representing Team England in tournaments.

Amaan has already had over 60 amateur bouts, and last weekend, he entered the biggest tournament in Europe, the Haringey Box Cup in the 57kg-60kg Division. It was a 3-day tournament where Amaan had to fight 3 days in a row, back-to-back.

Amaan won all 3 days making him Number 1 in Europe in his weight category. 

Congratulations Amaan! It's a very proud moment for us to have a Gold Medal Winner in our organisation!
